i don't think they have souls on their own. :/ that would make them rather satanic, wouldn't it? i believe that they are what they are - material objects - and that it is the owner's photography and the backstories/personalities invested into the dolls that make the dolls look and feel alive, that is, that they "have a soul". in some cases, i do believe that it's the owner's personality itself that is being reflected through the doll... so perhaps then it can be argued that the doll 'has a soul', albeit that of the owner living vicariously through their doll.

nonetheless, i still maintain that however 'alive' they may look - it is all a human construct, imposed onto the doll by the owner. so considering that a 'soul' is something metaphysical and perhaps even mystical - no, the dolls don't have souls.

but of course i would try to protect my dolls if something bad were to happen, considering the amount of money and time i've put into them however, the priorities would still be humans (e.g. family, friends) -> important documents -> dolls, in the case of a disaster or something.
